SAFETY
OPERATING SAFELY
IN GENERAL
– Use extra care when loading or unloading the
machine into a trailer or truck.
– Do not run the engine in an enclosed area where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
– Never leave a running machine unattended. Always
stop engine when leaving the operator position.
– Do not blow towards people, cars, windows, or other
items which could be injured or damaged by the
blown debris.
– Keep hands away from the blower air intake and
outlet.
STARTING
– Start according to instructions in this manual or on
the machine.
– Do not change engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at
excessive speed can increase the hazard of personal
injury.
INTERRUPTING OPERATION
- Before leaving the operator's position:
- Park on level ground.
- Shut off the engine.
- Stop the engine, and wait until the fan stops moving:
- before refueling;
- Stop the engine, and disconnect the spark plug
wire(s):
- before clearing blockages;
- before checking, cleaning or working on the
machine;
- if the machine begins to vibrate abnormally: shut
off machine immediately. Inspect and have repairs
made as needed before restarting;
- except for repairs or adjustments as specifically
noted, such as for carburetor adjustment, where
the engine must be running. Keep hands and feet
clear of moving parts in these circumstances.
- Allow the fan to come to a complete stop when
stopping operation to clear blockages, unclog,
inspect the machine, do maintenance or repair.
- Reduce the throttle setting during engine shut-down
and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve,
turn the fuel off at the conclusion of operation.
OPERATING ON SLOPES
-
Slopes are a major factor in loss of control and tip over
accidents that sometimes lead to severe injury or death.
All slopes require extra caution.
- Before operating on slopes, evaluate the risks in-
volved.
-
Do not operate on slopes if uneasy or uncertain. Ulti
-
mate responsibility for safe operation on slopes rests
with the operator.
- Do not operate on steep slopes. Poor footing could
cause a slip and fall accident.
- Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.
- Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches or embankments.
You could lose your footing or balance.
- Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then turn
slowly and downhill when possible.
- Be sure of your footing on slopes.
- Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks and other hidden
objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall ac
-
cident. Tall grass can hide objects.
